Abstrakt: Here, we show that a NOT gated cell therapy (Tmod) can exploit antigens such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human leukocyte antigen-E (HLA-E) which are widely expressed on cancer cells. Noncancerous cells-despite high expression of these antigens-are protected from cytotoxicity by the action of an inhibitory receptor ("blocker") via a mechanism that involves blocker modulation of CAR surface expression. The blocker is triggered by the product of a polymorphic HLA allele (e.g., HLA-A∗02) deleted in a significant subset of solid tumors via loss of heterozygosity. Moreover, Tmod constructs that target mouse homologs of EGFR or HLA-E for activation, and a mouse-equivalent of HLA-A∗02 for inhibition, protect mice from toxicity caused by the CAR alone. The blocker also controls graft vs. host response in allogeneic T cells in vitro , consistent with the use of Tmod cells for off-the-shelf therapy without additional gene-editing.
